It may be difficult to play on surfaces without much rebound while using the Push Pull Technique, but with enough practice, less rebound will be needed.Īnother application of this technique is to play double stroke rolls with more control over dynamics, at slower and faster tempos needing little to no rebound.
However, I almost always use the Push Pull Technique to play one-handed eighth notes from around 210 BPM and up. I find that it makes sense to use the Push Pull Technique at greater tempos until I am warmed up enough to play those tempos with normal technique. In general, This technique is used at greater tempos like 160 BPM and up. One application is to play straight consistent notes with less fatigue. 7 from Fifteen Miniatures for Snare Drum (.pdf)Ī short piece based on the second movement of Bartok's Concerto for Orchestra, taken from Lee's new snare drum etude book Fifteen Miniatures for Snare Drum, now available from available from Bachovich Music Publications.This technique may take a few months to a year of practicing to be effective, but can be applied on many occasions. 1 from Fifteen Miniatures for Snare Drum (.pdf)Ī short piece based on the fourth movement of Rimsky-Korsakov's Scheherezade, taken from Lee's new snare drum etude book Fifteen Miniatures for Snare Drum, now available from available from Bachovich Music Publications. 1 for Snare Drum (.pdf)Ī snare drum etude for the high school division of the 2008 Massachusetts Day of Percussion Solo Snare Drum Competition.
